The Circle of Abundance

“Money is like manure—it’s not worth anything unless you spread it around!”—Dolly Levi in The Matchmaker, by Thornton Wilder

Money is a circle of abundance that is constantly flowing, creating ripples of prosperity just as a stone creates ripples when dropped in a lake. With any purchase, you can easily follow the ripples if you look.

For example, if you buy a car, you have created prosperity for many people in an endless chain. First, the salesperson who sold you the car gets a commission, as does the dealership. The manufacturer also is enriched by the transaction. Most people are conscious of this much sometime during the transaction.

But the ripples continue: Your purchase of the car sends money into the hands of all the people and businesses associated with the production, manufacture, shipping, assembly, and inspections of the automobile. The advertising agency who writes the ad that attracts the buyer, the newspaper that prints the ad, the salesperson who sold the ad space, the person who sells the newspaper the paper stock and the ink. The lumberyard that produced the paper, the lumberjacks who chopped the wood, the trucker who hauled the wood and the one who moved the paper. Then the insurance company that provides the insurance policy on the car and all the workers associated with that business. How far can you follow the ripples? It is endless.

It is important for your personal prosperity to take joy in this process. As you write the check or pay the cash for your purchase, know that you are creating financial benefits for many unseen individuals who make their livings from multiples of these transactions. Smile and remember to write “Thank you!” on every check. You are giving of your abundance to other people and they will be doing the same—sending it out and around and eventually it will circle back to you.

Then you will send it out again.

Today’s Affirmation: “Every dollar I send out comes back to me multiplied!”

Taking heed of my own advice to be sure to take lots of time off to enjoy life and be a “human being” instead of a “human doing” is always important to remember. I’ve started taking Sundays off from reading and answering emails. At least, that’s the plan, but I notice how addicted I am to keeping up with it all. I just read an article on how people today are overstressed by the burden of email. I love the ease of staying in touch with the many people I know and love, and certainly it’s great for business. And free! Unlike the letters with postage of old…

But it’s like so many things in life – great in appropriate quantities, but big trouble if over-indulged in. I find myself more rested, relaxed, and happy when I take a break.

Hope you have a glorious Labor Day next Monday, with no labor! May it be filled with joy, love, and lots of goodies!

“I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to create your workshop and share it with us. The training I received in your workshop was incredible and the best thing I could have done as a brand new business owner because I am going to start my business the right way. And thanks for being you, because you give me permission to be me, and I love that.”—Jenee Dana, My Focus Book, LLC, 323-356-0420, ucla.jenee@ymail.com

"I started reading Chellie's book and doing her affirmations about a year before I took her class. Prior to this I had many customers (30) that bid me out for each and every project (no quality customers). There was too much to manage and no continuity. A year later I had only 5 customers with regular monthly business and am billing more than double what I had in past years. Less stress, more money and a better life! Thank you Chellie for your help! My only mistake was not taking the class sooner!" — Jennifer Christianson, Account Executive, Transcontinental Direct, 310-937-2483

"I took Chellie's Stress Reduction earlier this year and things went great — for awhile. While slogging through a particular "effort-full" month I spotted I had stopped applying some of the principles in the workshop. So I decided right there to sign up for Chellie's follow-on workshop, and immediately made over $45,000 in commissions in the two weeks after I started. Coincidence? I think not!" — Jack Molisani, Lead Recruiter, ProSpring Technical Staffing, 888-378-2333 Ext. 2, www.ProSpring.net

"Chellie's teachings, affirmations, words, workshop homework and, most importantly, her wisdom and fun-loving spirit helped shift old patterns and belief systems and revolutionize my life — above and beyond the finances.During her workshop, money flowed to me in increasing amounts even though Iwas starting up a new business at the time did not have a product to sell. I followed her homework suggestions and did the daily affirmations and my old programming about money dramatically shifted… money showed up in the form of unearned income: a reduction in my home and office rent, lowered rates through vendors and extra capital from investors--without asking. Even the right materials for my designs showed up in October--after a frustrating and exhaustive 1 1/2 year global search. But the most important shifts came through changes in my belief system which helped me build a solid foundation for my budding business. I am grateful to Chellie, her wit, smile and laughter--her gold shoes and magic wands. My business, my health, my wealth and I thank you! Take Chellie's workshop-- it will change your life! You will never fear your finances again!" — P. Hamilton, P. Hamilton Design

"I have to tell you this is the most fun workshop/class/seminar I've ever taken — and you know what a seminar junkie I am. Besides getting a lot of great information and meeting wonderful people (Dolphins, as Chellie calls us), it's just a kick to spend time with one of the most enlightened and entertaining women I've ever met. One of the results I've gotten from the class: I'm about to pay off $24,000 of my $32,000 credit card debt (mostly from seminars, instructional books and CDs!). Another: I'm inspired to start my own coaching sessions and workshops. In my book, Chellie is a goddess! — Moira Shepard, Radio Host, 310-923-8551, www.TriumphOverTrauma.com
